'ihe 'winger ."3 has in this construction of repeating-iirem-ins, in addition to its usual functions the fnnciion of holding the breechloolt in faire receiver ll and of eecting the ejection of the cartzidge-shell,'in conjunctimll the entrainer. For this y'purpose the .i provideal with the senr st, which is presoll upward by the spring p, and cocks the spring F by engaging with the triggersiud n as the brceelrholtis returned from its with two long* guidedillesv The pring lane its refi-rnbniinent rig'zziins'.y

open to its closed position. The trigger also has at its front end an ejector-beak a', the action of which will be presently described, and which holds a limiting-piece gr in position in the receiver li, as seen in Figs. l and 2, where a stop-surface 7L prevents any unin.

tentional downward motion. 'lhe upper part of this limiting-piece comes in contact with the guide-Gilets l 2 of the sliding boltand prevents the sliding bolt from being withdrawn from the gun. By pressingf down the limitingpiece by means oi' the trigger the bolt can readily be drawn out at the rear. The reintroduction is eitected in the same manner.

The extractor P, Fig. 7, at the frontend of the breech-bolt is so arranged that during the locking and unlocking of the bolt it does not turn therewith. For this purpose the extractor is Set with its tail-piece p3 into the filiet L. of the piece g, and partly by this means and partly by" the guiding `which it has in the groove L* of the'receiver, Figs. 4, 5, and 6, its rot'atiouwith the head K is prevented.

In order to allow the locking-studs VV" YW to pass on 'turning the breech-holt, the ex'- tractor is crank-shaped at the front end. as

shown atFig. 7.

The front end of the bolt K is formed (lished or recessed, as shown.' at Figs. ,1,2, 10, and 1i, so that a raised rim' Q is formed thereon, which surrounds the baseof the cartridge, but which is eut away at the4 point thatis presented at the magazine ot' `the gun when the breech-holt is open, so that the carrier can raise the cartridge'and press it into the space within the rim Q. By this means the feeding of more than one eartridge at a time into the receiver is prevented. The bo1t-head also has a notch fr, Figs. l0 and 11 into which enters the ejector-beak :c of the trigger when the breech-bolt is open, Fig. 1, and thus ejects the cartridge-case which was withdrawn by the extractor and is inclosed by the rimQ. In place 0E this arrangement of the ejector the constructions shown at Figs. 3 and 3" can be employed, in which an ejector-pin y is arranged on the bolt-headl K opposite the eXtractorP in such a manner that in the position shown inruil lines it forms an abutment for the cartridge-base; but on drawing back the breech-bolt it strikes against a fixed stop, whereby it is pushed forward into the dotted position, and thus ejects the cartridge-shell.

In Figs. 1 and 2 a safety device is shown. It consists-of a locking-latch E, Figs'. 12 and 13,' 'which is pivoted tothe breech-holtA handle and has a notch e, so that in the normal position of thek locking-latch the nut M can move freely forward with t-he firing-pin. lf, however, the latch E be turned into the' position shown in dotted lines at Fig. 9, it prevents the forward motion of the lfiring-pin. This position is, however, only possible when the lock is at full-cock, as the firing-pin is provided witha suitable notch, (not shown i i in the drawings,) into which the cover part be cocked.

'ith the before-described construction of breech-action any arrangement of cartridgemaga'zine can be employed. I prefer, hcw ever, to employ the arrangement forminfY the Subject-matter of another application.

l claim as my invention l. in breech-loading firearms, the combiposed of the rotary part K, provided with the locking-studs W and the sliding part g, ot the `snide-ribs Z l2, radialiy disposed upon the lower side of the sliding part g, and the receiver ll, having its interior provided witn the corresponding grooves ls Z4, in which said ribs l' l'z may slide, and with the recesses for the reception of studs XV Vv, substantialiy and for the purpose described.

y2. ln breech-loading firearms, the combination, with the sliding breechbolt com posed of the rotary part K, provided with the locking-studs NV W2, and the sliding part g, ot the guide ribs lf' Z2, radially disposed upon the 'lower side of the sliding part g, the

posed in s. horizontal piane upon part g, and the breech-i'eceiver il, having its interior provided with `the corresponding grooves Z3 Z4 studs W W2, substantially as and for the purpose described. t A hreeoh-ioading firearm having a renaily therein, the boltheadhaving a lnotch fr, in combination'with the 'trigger having a is withdrawn to enter said notch and eject the cartrdg x.-shell, substantially as described.

4. In breechfloading firearms, the combination of the sliding breeclrbolt composed et tary part, locking-studs uponthe forward end, of the rotary part, with an extractor l?, bent to follow` the outline ot one of the lockinglocking-studs with the rotary vpart of the breech-bolt, extractor l. prevented from rotating with the breech-bolt by groove L in the receiver, substantially as described.

`5. In repeating-firearms receiving the cartridges from a magazine situated underneath the receiver and havingasiiding breech-bolt, the forward end of said breech-bolt'provided with a rim Q for the reception of the carwith the end ot the bolt on its under side, leaving au open space facing the top of the magazine whenthebolt is unlocked, substantially as and for the purpose described.
